Russia's combative ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly Churkin, died suddenly in New York on Monday after being taken ill at work, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
The ministry gave no details on the circumstances of his death but offered condolences to his relatives and said the diplomat had died one day before his 65th birthday.
It declined to comment on reports that Churkin had been taken to hospital shortly before his death.
President Vladimir Putin was "deeply upset" by the news and had greatly valued Churkin's professionalism and diplomatic talent, Russian news agencies quoted the Kremlin as saying.
The New York Post quoted unnamed sources as saying Churkin had been rushed to a Manhattan hospital from the Russian embassy after falling ill with a cardiac condition.
Tass news agency quoted Churkin's deputy Pyotr Ilyichev as saying: "The loss sustained by Russia is grave and irreplaceable.

Russians are dropping like flies
And remember, there are more than two players on the stage and one desperately wants to keep America and Russia from fighting islam together!
This will give the conspiracy department fodder for sometime to come.
To help ease the Russians grief,a modest proposal.
Make a gift of John Kerry, to Mr Putin.
An additional junior assistant manservant, might help!
He is good at licking boots!
Who from the former KGB did he pi$$ off?
Was he involved with the Clinton urainium deal?
Or was it a message to Putin from the Norks?
I would guess Obama, Hillary and Soros. He knew too much.
Gee, just one day before he could collect his pension ?

The Russian made headlines last year when he filed a complaint to the UN in September demanding that the high commissioner for human rights stop criticizing then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Churkin sought a private audience with Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in to protest speeches by Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, the UN commissioner on human rights, that appeared to label Trump a ‘demagogue’.
‘Prince Zeid is overstepping his limits from time to time and we’re unhappy about it,’ said Churkin at the time.
So, who poisoned him?
Where was hillary and what did she know?
Only half kidding if he was involved in the Russia cash for US uranium deal.
Its the seriousness of the accusation after all.
Perhaps it was former KGB Lieutenent Colonel Vladimir Putin.
